Training Session related to the problem

Central theme:
Possession of the ball in your own half

 

Building-up:
To improve the achievement of a team the coach has to define / formulate the problem he has to work on. This problem must

then be solved by the players with the help of the coach.

The aim of building-up:

 

  • Each player must have the same idea
  • The same idea can be learned by repeating the key factors belonging to this theme and this situation in the game.
  • These key factors must be learned by players, if not everything they learn or perform is meaningless.
  • They must communicate. That's why they must speak the same "football" language and must start with the same idea.
  • The skills will be developed by recognizing the aim and the sense of the activity/the task.

Coaches, do not forget that soccer players are human-beings. They have brains! Development is activated by the brains.

- Improving the positional play in your own defense to give better passes to your own attackers in order to create more and better scoring opportunities.
